Put a multimeter on it. It will show continuity since it's a solid piece of metal from one end to another. If there was a break in one of the contacts, it would have to be cut. Clamp it in a vice and heat one side up while pulling on the other. Half should slide out as the plastic melts if it's broken which is highly improbable. As madmax said, it's either the solder joint is poor or there is no load in the spring to make a solid contact.
